My money is on Christie/Rubio for the reds. Think about what is going to happen when Texas turns lean blue within the decade. Unless the reds can compete for the southwest and Texas, they will lose in perpetuity. If you put Texas in the blue today, and cede the reds Nevada, Co, IA, WI, OH, VA, FL, VA, NC and NH, they would still lose unless they could grab PA or MI. In a decade, Texas will likely have enough electors that neither MI or PA alone would be enough, and Nevada and Arizona may be out of play for them.
A Christie-Rubio team would really put into play a much larger slice of the electoral map. My hope is that it will be a Santorum-player to be named later ticket. How will the reds adjust their primary/nomination process for the next super bowl?
Will Hillary Clinton choose to run, if so who does she want on the blue ticket?
